About me

I was born in Pindamonhangaba city, São Paulo state, Brazil on February 13, 1976. I am Japanese descendant (nissei). My father was born in Yoshida, Saitama-ken, Japan and my mother was born in Bastos, São Paulo state, Brazil, but she has double nationality. They are retired and they live in a rural residence, on the outskirts of Pindamonhangaba. The area is not so big, but my parents cultivate some variety of vegetables and fruits to our consumption. And the small overplus is sold in the downtown street market, one time a week. They take a peaceful life in the prairie with fresh air and singing birds. But I live at the neighbour city and I only spend my weekends with them. My hobbies are reading, watching movies and some selected TV series. I love gardening and handicraft as knitting, crochet and embroidery. I also like to spend my time in the internet, searching and studying about diverse themes related with my work areas, my hobbies and other stuffs. My preferred pages are Google, Gmail and forums about computation and travels. The latter supports my new hobby: traveling.
